Stories that expose corrupt power, corporate agendas and/or interviews that go against the grain of a false narrative the mainstream media is attempting to paint get killed dead...period. The flaming, meteoric rise of independent, open source journalism and citizen reporting is the the way of the future happening now. The independent journalist and citizen reporter have more viewers, more readers, more truth, more humanity and more integrity than any paper tiger mainstream media outlet. Independent podcasts, YouTube channels and Facebook posts are now regularly getting more traffic than mainstream media's nightly news reports, internet stories and social media (Twitter/Facebook) posts. In fact, many are walking away (or skipping altogether) mainstream media positions for the open internet where voices can speak freely and where truth and integrity are the currency of choice.

Freelance journalist Jon Rappoport has recently pulled the cover off the purposeful censorship in mainstream journalism (yet again) by open sourcing his planned interview that never happened regarding the Zika virus op. He was contacted, he agreed to be a guest, the [mainstream] media outlet emailed him their questions, he answered them with blunt-force truth and the station killed the interview.
